It appears that in the U.S.'s endless hunger for confrontation and domination, we're going to go ahead and re-engage none other than THE RUSSIANS in yet another U.S.-Russia standoff regarding missiles, nukes, and nearby support/launch countries.

We seem insistent on building up a "missile defense system" in Poland, on the Russian border, you know, in case Russia spontaneously decides it's a good idea to launch nuclear missiles into Europe or something.
It is obviously meant to be a threatening intimidation towards Russia to keep them "contained" and "in their place"... which has now officially pissed Putin off. The guy who's eyes Bush "looked into.....and saw his soul." Ahhh, so very dreamy, those two.
This situation looks to be building quite seriously. We may have K.O.'d Russia in the first Cold War, but we failed to deliver a Mortal Kombat-style FATALITY, so it apparently may be time to scare them into not getting back up onto their feet, with our shiny, pointy missiles on their border!

“President Putin has warned the US that its deployment of a new anti-missile network across Eastern Europe would prompt Russia to point its own missiles at European targets and could trigger nuclear war,” the Times Online reported last June. “We have brought all our heavy weapons beyond the Urals and reduced our military forces by 300,000. But what do we have in return? we see that Eastern Europe is being filled with new equipment, two positions in Bulgaria and Romania, as well as radar in the Czech Republic, and missile systems in Poland. What is happening? Unilateral disarmament of Russia is happening,” said Putin.

As F. William Engdahl writes, the so-called missile defense deal with Poland moves the world closer to nuclear war:

The signing on August 14 of an agreement between the governments of the United States and Poland to deploy on Polish soil US ‘interceptor missiles’ is the most dangerous move towards nuclear war the world has seen since the 1962 Cuba Missile crisis. Far from a defensive move to protect European NATO states from a Russian nuclear attack, as military strategists have pointed out, the US missiles in Poland pose a total existential threat to the future existence of the Russian nation. The Russian Government has repeatedly warned of this since US plans were first unveiled in early 2007. Now, despite repeated diplomatic attempts by Russia to come to an agreement with Washington, the Bush Administration, in the wake of a humiliating US defeat in Georgia, has pressured the Government of Poland to finally sign the pact. The consequences could be unthinkable for Europe and the planet.

For NATO, however, such a scenario is not unthinkable. “The west must be ready to resort to a pre-emptive nuclear attack to try to halt the ‘imminent’ spread of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, according to a radical manifesto for a new Nato by five of the west’s most senior military officers and strategists,” the Guardian reports.

Calling for root-and-branch reform of Nato and a new pact drawing the US, Nato and the European Union together in a “grand strategy” to tackle the challenges of an increasingly brutal world, the former armed forces chiefs from the US, Britain, Germany, France and the Netherlands insist that a “first strike” nuclear option remains an “indispensable instrument” since there is “simply no realistic prospect of a nuclear-free world”.
